The hood opening line matches indeed. But apparently Kenworth called it just a Set-Forward Axle version of the W900B, at least at the beginning: (1988 brochure cover. Click...) According to Wikipedia, it has been unveiled in 1987, which makes the truck of this page a 1987-93 model, due to the release date of the movie. -- Last edit: 2015-05-31 17:23:58
